In this unit, students will be able to know what physical activity can do for one’s body, mind and spirit. We will be covering all the different forms of physical activity along with how it can affect your mental state, self-worth and your social environment. With learning how one’s own physical activity can affect their overall health, my hope is that students will be able to adapt their lifestyles to be more physically active and to be more aware how they truly feel. Students will be able to showcase their knowledge and research when they submit an eBook on the Impact newsletter on the website of the Chamber of Commerce.

Expectations Absences: Students will be expected to show up to class on a daily basis. This will be so vital in getting all of the material, but also in capturing the great knowledge of your peers and various activities.

If there is an unexcused absence students will not be able to receive credit but will be expected to complete the material missed, if a test or quiz was missed students will be able to make it up but the highest grade you will be able to receive is a 75. For excused absences students will have 2 weeks to get the material in.
Plagiarism: This will be determined by school code
Assignments: Assignments are expected to be completed on time and with thoughtful responses. There will always be an updated wikispace for assignments and notes if students should need more explanation on a subject or to have more enrichment with the content.
Classroom Expectations: I want this classroom to be a place where students are free to say how they feel without being afraid of how others will respond. Humor in the classroom is okay, as long as the humor isn’t directed as someone in a negative way. This classroom will be a place where students will be able to collaborate with others and bounce ideas of one another, keeping in mind of each student’s individualized intelligence. Benchmarks
